The final group of the evening, Jazz Arts Collective, is the premiere large jazz ensemble at HopeCollege. Directed by Coyle, the collective places a creative focus on ensemble communication and improvisation. Comprised of a rhythm section and approximately seven horns, this select group performs compositions and arrangements from across the full spectrum of music.

The collective's repertoire ranges from the great historical jazz composers such as Duke Ellington and Charles Mingus, to works by modern jazz masters like Vince Mendoza, Jim McNeely, and John Hollenbeck. Similarly, the group frequently performs commissions, works by emerging young composers, and originals by HopeCollege faculty and students. The ensemble also collectively reinterprets and re-imagines the music from the 20th century classical repertoire.
